This study introduces a new method to extract individual muscle signals from surface EMG recordings, enabling intuitive, simultaneous multi-joint control for upper limb prosthetics. This advances prosthetic functionality for amputees and intact individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroprosthetics
  • Rehabilitation Engineering

Background:

  • Current upper limb prosthetics often lack intuitive simultaneous multi-joint control.
  • Limited availability of reliable, independent control signals hinders advanced prosthetic functionality.
  • Existing systems typically focus on single-joint control, restricting natural limb movement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel method for extracting individual muscle source signals from surface electromyography (EMG) array recordings.
  • To enable simultaneous, multi-axis, proportional control of prosthetic systems by utilizing independently controllable muscles in residual limbs.
  • To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed EMG signal extraction method for intuitive prosthetic control.

Main Methods:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Developed a novel method based on EMG energy orthonormalization along principle movement vectors.
  • Applied the method to extract individual muscle source signals from surface EMG array recordings.
  • Evaluated the method's effectiveness in providing simultaneous control of multiple prosthetic joints.

Main Results:

  • Successfully extracted individual muscle source signals from EMG data.
  • Demonstrated simultaneous control of wrist rotation, wrist flexion/extension, and grip open/close.
  • Achieved proportional control under both isometric and non-isometric conditions in intact subjects and one transradial amputee.

Conclusions:

  • The novel EMG signal extraction method facilitates intuitive, simultaneous multi-joint control for upper limb prosthetics.
  • This approach overcomes limitations of single-joint control systems, offering more natural prosthetic limb function.
  • The findings support the potential for advanced prosthetic control using EMG-based muscle signal identification.
